I shout this from the rooftops not only because it is GREAT for you, but it’s freaking crazy SIMPLE behavior to implement that yields a huge positive outcome.

We all need water to function but somehow we keep forgetting that this one small daily activity can have a huge impact on how we feel as well as providing us with an improved health outcome.

Flush those toxins out of your body.

Wash your cells.

Keep your electrolytes flowing.

In the absence of setting up a complete home water filtration system there is BERKEY, my favorite movable water filter than can move as you do. I particularly love this product because they have great fluoride filters that are especially important for gals like me who have thyroid issues.

And make sure to keep it clean by carrying your water in a good portable container. This is my favorite.

BUT WAIT, THERE’S ANOTHER OPTION THAT’S FREE.

There are many places in the country where you can collect your own water from ground wells/springs.Using the thickest plastic available for transport, you can seek out local springs near you where you can collect your own.NOTE:I cannot guarantee that this is clean water, only that you might want to seek out what’s being offered near you and do your own research.

When I was living in Southwestern Vermont, I drove to a spring 10 minutes away and collected my own very delicious and refreshing water.It can be done. FindASpring.com is a GREAT resource.

Why: Hormone disruptors. Please read the two articles below to get clear on the effect that plastics are having on your overall health. Because we can’t see it, taste it, smell it, we aren’t particularly aware of the harm these chemicals are doing to our body.

Also, disposable plastics are clogging the earth with garbage that’s not going away anytime soon.. Being mindful of your own choices not only benefits you but the mother ship as well.

Potential Positive Outcomes:We drink water in an effort to improve our health, right?In my opinion, the single most important thing you can do for your health is to consume the highest quality water possible. We are all dehydrated so consuming more is important. What’s even more important is how you store it before you consume it.

Why:Sleep deprivation is one of the main reasons we are tired and cranky.It is also one of the reasons our health declines.Sleep is your body’s time to repair and recover.If your sleeping habits are bad, it’s likely your health is in the toilet, too.

Many of us struggle with sleep for a wide variety of reason but this reason is one of the biggest, and potentially the easiest fix.It will cost you nothing, so jump in and let us know how it works.

The vast majority of us have come to associate our bed and bedrooms as places where we do a LOT of different activities.Our bed, in particular, should be used for two things and two things only – sleep and sex.If you are working, eating, watching TV, scrolling on your phone, doing projects, etc in bed, you brain doesn’t associate it with what it’s for….rest, relaxation and sex.

There is a reason that sleep deprivation is used in parts of the world to torture folks.I’m not trying to be funny here.I had a 5 month window where I was sleep deprived because of some dogs loose in my neighborhood and even I couldn’t stand myself.It’s horrible.

Give your body what it needs to repair and recover. Sleep is the best gift you can give yourself.

Potential Positive Outcomes:This change has social implications as well as personal ones.Our planet is in peril from the onslaught of chemical intrusion.Choosing organic not only benefits you, but Mother Earth.As consumers, every time we make a purchase we are telling the people who produce that product, “we want more.”

Vote with your wallet.When you do, the outcome is far reaching.

It took me a long time to figure out that I had a sensitivity to triclosan, a common ingredient in many personal care products, especially toothpaste.My poor thyroid has surely taken a beating front the relentless onslaught of unnecessary fluoride.Gah.

Some of us have sensitive gums and while that can occur for a bunch of different reasons (poor oral hygiene being one), a common reasons for sensitive gums is inflammation.Your mouth is part of your GI track.If your gastro intestinal track is inflamed it could be the reason your gums are inflamed.

This covers all the reasons why you should read your tooth past labels to be sure these ingredients are not in the one you are using at your home.

I have an Amazon Influencer Page that has several lists of items that I use to maintain my health.They are all affiliate links and I may receive some compensation for your purchases.This is the link to my personal care list where you’ll find a few toothpaste options.

Potential Positive Outcomes:Better overall health from removal of crappy chemicals and hormone disruptors that have a negative effect on our health.
